Halloween Costume Swap Day is Saturday!

What's your child going to be for Halloween this year? A spider monkey? A pink wabbit? Maybe Hannah Montana? Or a lion!

Before you buy him or her yet another polyester outfit that’s doomed for the trash after a single use, consider swapping for it instead. If just half the 25 million children who celebrate Halloween in the U.S. exchanged costumes, they’d reduce landfill waste by 6,250 tons — that’s the weight of 2,500 midsized cars!
